Maine Public launches Maine Museum Portal

Wednesday

LEWISTON, Maine – Maine Public announced the launch of the Maine Museum Portal, a curated interactive portal to exhibits currently on display at galleries and museums across Maine.

The portal consists of an interactive map connecting portal visitors with single exhibits from participating museums. A growing list of more than 30 museums are participating, including the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor, L.C. Bates Museum in Hinckley, Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk, Davistown Museum in Liberty, and the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland.

“As our collective access to museums here in Maine has temporarily been suspended, we felt it was important to provide our audience with the opportunity to still see and explore exhibits currently on display across Maine,” said Maine Public President and CEO Mark Vogelzang.

“As Maine’s public broadcaster, we are proud to be able to serve Maine in this innovative way,” Vogelzang said. “While no substitute for a live experience, the virtual experiences afforded by the participating museums are still memorable and very powerful.”

Maine Public’s Maine Museum Portal is available online at mainepublic.org.
